What does PEWTER mean in Scrabble?
noun
A soft grey metal alloy, mostly tin, used for drinking mugs, plates and ornaments; also its dull bluish-grey colour.
Old pewter contained lead, but modern pewter is made of tin hardened with small amounts of copper and antimony, so it is safe for tableware. Because it melts at a low temperature it is easy to cast, and it has been shaped into tankards, candlesticks and figurines for centuries. Its soft, silvery sheen has given its name to a shade of grey, and the colour is popular for cars, paint and cloth.
